Fazenda São Francisco
Style Hamptons-inspired beach bungalows
Setting Palm-lined Corumbau sand bar
Backed by virgin forest and fronted by two kilometres of white-sand Corumbau shoreline, the terracotta-toned farm Fazenda São Francisco offers a taste of wild South Bahia without compromising on contemporary luxury. Its cluster of ruddy modern bungalows are set back from the sea, each one boasting towering ceilings, sliding shuttered doors and a modern sense of style that takes its cue from the warm and woody interiors of the Hamptons.

Our favourite rooms
If you can, nab one of the four independent bungalows – these offer vast amounts of space and privacy. Painted in the hotel’s signature terracotta tones, they’re around 30-feet high, with huge sliding shuttered doors and windows. There are two bungalows that consist of adjoining suites – ideal for families – but, like the two smaller upper level rooms, these don’t have quite the same level of wow-factor as the standalones.
Packing tips
Bring snorkelling gear for checking out submarine spectacles, reliable shoes for jungle tramping, and a novel or two for when you fancy indulging in some hammock time.
Also
There’s a sublime diving spot right in front of the hotel, thanks to the coral reef that stretches 10km out to sea. The Fazenda has bikes available to borrow – there’s nothing quite like speeding along the sands of the hotel’s two-kilometre private beach.
